Best Pressure Washer (ELECTRIC)? Ryobi vs Karcher, Stanley, Sun Joe, WEN, CAT & WORX

If you want to give one away, let me know. I was about to start a residential pressure washing business where I just moved to, and someone stole my dang equipment out of the building it was stored in, 3 hours away where I'm originally from. Let my tool insurance lapse due to financial difficulties, like a moron, and learned an expensive lesson. I know these aren't made for most residential jobs, but having a small one is great for some jobs.

[@ssu7653]

The "proprietary" connecter many of these have is considered "consumer standard". If you have a pressure washer or accessory, its either the M22 or this "proprietary" connector...

[@inspectorraycharles]

Would a test of battery powered power washers be worth it. I recently purchased a Dwalt 40 volt power washer thinking possibly that a DC powered motor with the advantage of a DC batteries inherently greater ability to provide more power than a 120 volt AC powered system. I was seriously disappointed and immediately returned it. Dwalt should be embarrassed by offering such a poor performing piece of equipment. Maybe there are other manufacturers that are offering better options. I hope you decide to test this option.

[@trixter192]

Actually, he never wiped down the soap, so It's barely any better than a soapless pressure washer rinse. Read the foam cannon instructions if you want proper results.

[@smileyguyz]

@False Flag I do. As an automotive detailing enthusiast, you'll never get that layer off with just a pressure wash. Usually you can make it more manageable by washing your vehicle more frequently, as the dirt tends to embed deeper the longer it sits. I recommend ceramic coating, or waxing, if you want to be able to just blast it off every once in a while. Doesn't keep it perfectly clean, but it really helps. Even the cheaper kits you'll find on Amazon should do the trick.

It would be nice to see how these carpet cleaners work on "real world" dirt, as opposed to the staged settings the manufacturers show them working in.

One of the ceramic plungers was cracked which probably started all the problems (probably froze :( ) - you'd be lucky to get 2 or 3 years out of one of these little toys, compared to 24 years out of a quality unit.

Always appreciate your videos. Just bought an Active pressure washer - which apparently the CAT is, just rebranded. It was $30 cheaper than the Cat. Got it today and cleaned my trashcans. It worked awesome and it was really nice not having to drag out my bulky gas washer for the small jobs like this. Thanks for doing these videos, I’ve relied on them before several big purchases.

Watching how you spray your truck educated me on the new method of cleaning. I've been washing from a bucket and sponge since 1978, only because I didn't have a pressure washer. However, I don't see anything that can replace the traditional wax-on, wax-off method. Thank you sir.

[@RockyRaccoon3281]

I BBQ alot. 4-5 days a week. All year long. I have had almost every propane BBQ made. Full size and portable. Most work pretty good overall and will cook food. The real issue with propane BBQ's is longevity and price. Because I'm a cheapskate, I tried most cheaper brands. None worked at 100% for more than 3 years. None. Usually 1 1/2-2 years and the igniter doesn't work. Also the burners start to go. Then one year I got a weber genesis as a birthday present. I knew the webers were good because other family members had them. After 22 years, I finally rebuilt it with a new igniter and burners. Worked like new again. I gave it to my son and now it's almost 30 years old and still cooks like a champ. I started picking up old weber that people threw out and I rebuild them and sell them cheap. So easy to do. I would love to see a BBQ shootout. I think the hardest thing to test would be longevity so we would need yearly updates. Weber BBQs are usually at least twice as much as most other BBQ but will last almost forever. You really can't compare the overall value and even cooking of a weber to ANY other BBQ in my life experience. Also the weber company is such a pleasure to deal with. I'm looking forward to this video if/when it happens. Thanks for all your hard work!

The Plastics are still like new even though it gets stored 'Outside' rain, hail or shine ... Its even copped a few Dry runs from being lent to friends who dont understand Priming 😢 Like I said 2 dead Ryobi later and my Stanley still Strong ... Wish I could have afforded a CAT ..

Me too. I wonder if the CAT brand is a brass headed pump.

[@jonasstahl9826]

Metal vs plastic doesnt say much. There are good plastic and bad metals in the market.

[@gabiold]

That would be interesting. By any chance the motor on the Karcher runs continuously? Because the pressure drop at the begining might be the effect of a so called offloader valve. Better (industrial) units does not start/stop cycle the motor with a pressure switch, instead there is an interesting valve which reduces the pressure to some idle level when there is no flow. Then when you press the trigger, it senses the flow and changes over to high pressure. A simple blow-off valve would continuously load the pump at max pressure, which is not ideal.

[@jothain]

@@howardosborne8647 What I've heard is that unfortunately even many "mid priced" models use plastics these days. By mid price I mean range between cheapos and water heating models. It's really unfortunate as models in that range are fairly expensive. I sincerely hope that these are minority, but still, I've heard quite many people having "reputable" brands break in way too short time period. I fully understand their pain if they find plastics in pumps. I had to get pressure washer and I went for one of the cheapos because of that. I'm almost 100% certain that it has plastics, but it's cheap and well it's lasted better than I've anticipated. I suppose pretty much only guaranteed way to get better materials is to have heater models, but that's a steep price and quite overkill to pay for normal household usage.
